Okay. Is there any discussion?
First of all, is there agreement on the amendment?
(Amendment agreed to)
Is there agreement on the minutes as amended?
(Motion agreed to)
Okay. The motion is carried.
The last item is the motion of Mr. Saxton. Let me say at the outset that I reviewed this and had some chats with the clerk. We'll circulate it.
Let me make a few comments. I've reviewed it with the clerk and I would be inclined to rule it out of order. I'm willing to hear any arguments, but there may be a way around this.
First of all, it's in the negative. It's argumentative. It's talking about breaking the law. I would suggest--and maybe Mr. Saxton can amend it--that a motion really should just be a statement. If he were to keep the first eight words, “That, notwithstanding the motion adopted”, and then go right to his last sentence and put a specific time there, the motion would be very simple, and I think we could move on to debate the merits of the motion rather than getting into who broke the law.
